Chapter 34: Speeches (Asking for Votes)
The smoke and rain building is full of friends, the salt merchants and tea merchants of the two Huai, the shopkeepers of the Hui Gang, the West Gang ticket number, and the money village, are everywhere biting their tongues in Shanxi dialect, and their tongues licking the Huaiyin of the lower jaws, and almost all the business figures with heads and faces in Anqing and Wuhu gather here, and they bow and ask for warmth when they meet, but most of them are not good-looking.
As long as they talk to each other about the market in the world, everyone is like taking ecstasy pills, and they will only shake their heads and not nod! This world has become a pot of porridge, trade routes in various places have been cut off, the ticket number and the money released by the money bank cannot be recovered, but the deposits brought in have been squeezed by depositors, no wonder they are not happy. If it weren't for Chai Dongliang's Guanghua Bank to lend one million taels to Qianzhuang and the ticket number was at the bottom, I'm afraid they would have been forced to jump into the Yangtze River by the debt collectors!
Yang Shiqi was also dressed in a robe, covered with a poplin horse coat, and a businessman's dress was mixed in. I heard that Chai Dongliang not only did not blackmail the merchants, but lent them the deposit silver of the treasury to stabilize the market, and he was very interested in this newly baked governor of Anhui.
"Da da da,
Two swaggering cavalry cleared the way, followed by a lavishly decorated carriage. When the soldier reached the door, he jumped off his horse and picked up the straight line of Manlixia's rifle station, and the carriage drove slowly by, and a man who looked like an officer opened the door.
The businessmen watching from the window widened their eyes at the same time, and they couldn't help but look stupid!
I saw a twenty-four-five-year-old young man getting out of the car, with a well-fitting suit, straight trouser ironing, shiny three-joint leather shoes, short spiritual hair, wearing a white gloved right hand holding a cane inlaid with precious stones, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised seemed to be smiling.
"This is Chai Dudu?" Even Wu Xingzhou, who sees Chai Dongliang every day, is a little afraid to admit it!
This is like the governor of the military advisory office of Anhui Province with a heavy army, and he is clearly a business tycoon on the beach!
Chai Dongliang got out of the car, threw the cane to Ma Ben, and then entered the door with a smile. Yang Shiqi couldn't help but sigh, this governor of the revolutionary party is really young!
Hundreds of business bigwigs in the hall were a little overwhelmed when they saw Chai Dongliang's dress, some asked for peace, some bowed, some beat thousands, and some stretched out their hands and waited to hold hands!
Chai Dongliang took off his white gloves, smiled and held hands with the guests one by one, and the others also hurriedly stretched out their hands and waited for him to shake hands.
"Everyone, please speak!" Wu Xingzhou consciously maintained the order of the venue.
Everyone immediately shut down, and there was a sudden silence in the Yanyu Building, Chai Dongliang nodded with a smile, and then walked onto the temporary rostrum, speechless for a long time, just silently looked around the stage with his eyes. Everyone felt that he was looking at himself, especially Yang Shiqi, who felt that the back of his neck was cold.
Chai Dongliang coughed lightly and cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, my brother has traveled to the West for several years, and all the countries in Taixi have built the country with industry and commerce, military ships, firearms, laws and regulations, and these civil and military roads are all used by the protection of merchants, and the foreigners are so-called sword-wielding merchants!" Whoever creates an inventor who benefits the country, the royal family bestows him a knighthood to show his glory, and the political axe issues a patent in reward for his hard work! On the other hand, in my China, a gentleman is ashamed of his words, he studies for officials, and businessmen are the last of the four people, even if he has a huge amount of money, he has no dignity at all! β
"That's right, the Governor still understands our suffering!"
"It's going to die early in the morning!"
Hearing Chai Dongliang's words, the people below echoed one after another.
Chai Dongliang waved his hand and made a silent gesture: "The suffering of Chinese businessmen is not available in all countries in Taixi, but I am unique to China!" Eighteen provinces set up cards everywhere to levy money, blocking traffic so that goods can not circulate, exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, corrupt officials like blood-sucking locusts make industry and commerce unprofitable, this first suffering, the court forced extortion of the very bitter!
Foreigners rely on strong ships and cannons, dominate our customs, and set a tariff of 5% on goods arriving at the port, while the tariff on China's exports has reached more than 30% of the value of the goods, and the tax burden on foreign goods is far lower than that of domestic goods, and the province is exempted from levying money, so that foreign goods are unimpeded in China, and domestic goods are dying! This second suffering, the suffering of foreigners' oppression! β
The businessmen present had never heard such thoughtful words, and nodded their heads frequently.
"Only these two hardships are not enough to squeeze out the national industry and commerce, and the third suffering is the suffering of conservative concepts! Looking at Anhui Province, the original tea export was a large quantity, and foreigners used machines to make tea, which got twice the result with half the effort, while China used handmade tea in vain. At that time, Liu Kunyi was the governor of Liangjiang and persuaded the two Huai tea merchants to learn to make tea by machine, but no one in the province responded! Since then, the two Huai Tea Houses have been killed. Let's talk about the ticket number, the money bank, change the ticket number to the bank, the introduction of the Taixi system, this theory has been said for more than ten years, so far there is no inch! Hui Gang businessmen only know how to make money and drink beauties, and they are happy in time, while the merchants of the West Gang are rich, but they are just buying land and building houses... This third suffering, the suffering of not working on the concept! Only by sticking to the old ways is the fatal scourge of national industry and commerce! β
Listening to Chai Dongliang talking eloquently, those shopkeepers of money banks and ticket numbers and semicolons couldn't wait to slap their hands, and they all turned their heads and said: "It's not!" This change of ticket number has been said for more than ten years for the bank, but the old people of the general number just can't listen to it! The money bank has been engaged for decades, and the business is just not big! Now that everything is in chaos, I think this business is almost done! β
"Yes, I also persuaded my old man to use machines to make tea bricks, but he said that the ancestors of eight generations were made by hand! And say I'm a deviant! β
Yang Shiqi also listened attentively, and his interest in Chai Dongliang, who was talking eloquently, increased. The governor of the revolutionary party, instead of talking about the great principle of the revolution, talks about business!
"In these troubled times, my brothers don't measure their strength, they want to keep the peace of one side and save some vitality for the country! Brother knows, you have been frightened recently, and your property has been lost a lot... Don't worry too much, as the so-called 'blessings and misfortunes lie in ambush and blessings rely on', if you don't break it, you won't stand it! Now that the revolutionary military is in the ascendant, the Qing court is a candle in the wind. A new country has its own new atmosphere!
Germany was divided for 600 years, and its founding was only more than 40 years old, Wilhelm I was eloquent, Bismarck's iron-blooded master, one defeated Denmark, captured two cities, and then defeated Austria-Hungary, three defeated France, and the triumphal parade Arc de Triomphe! It is said that the small state of Ben Yuer, bowed down to worship China for 2,000 years, destroyed the Beiyang Naval Division in the first war of the Qing Dynasty, and received a huge compensation of 20,000 taels, and won a big victory in the war against Tsarist Russia!
The rise of these two countries is due to the prosperity of industry! Germany's Krupp, Siemens, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Yasuda... These industrial and commercial giants are the foundation of the country's strength, and the country's strength makes it stronger!
The countries of Taixi are holding swords and merchants, casting their swords with the strength of industry, and protecting industry with swords to reach all countries in Kyushu!
The stronger the country, the more developed the industry and commerce, and the more developed the industry and commerce, the stronger the country, which is the cause and effect of each other! On the other hand, in China, if there are very few people who are willing to devote themselves to industry, the country will be weak! The country is poor and weak, and industry and commerce are oppressed by foreigners!
Chai is blunt, but also willing to be a strong country, industrial development is a little thin, from now on, where I Anhui military advisory government control area, forever abolish the evil government of the gold, car and horse tax, bed tax and other Manchu officials to exploit the merchants of the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are also abolished, Chai is also willing to communicate with the governors of the south of the Yangtze River, jointly depose the gold, to receive the world's wealth like water effect! β
Yang Shiqi gasped, this young governor is really courageous! Li Jin was originally a big piece of fat on the lips of the governors of the provinces, but he didn't eat it! And I want the governors of other provinces not to collect money!
This is a naΓ―ve idea!
The businessmen below are smiling, although it is temporarily impossible for the provinces not to collect centigold, but at least in Anqing, Wuhu and Wuhu do not have to pay anymore, in addition to the regular tax in the future, all taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be exempted!
At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh secretly, if the officials of the Qing Dynasty were as enlightened as Chai Dudu, how could they cause chaos in the world!
"The following is the development plan of Wuhu Industrial Park drawn up by the Military Advisory Office, please consider it!" Chai Dongliang accepted it when he saw it, and while everyone was excited, he distributed the development plan printed in advance.
Yang Shiqi also had a copy in his hand, and he held the plan that exuded the smell of fresh ink, and his heart sank.
The plan is extremely detailed, the recruitment of share capital, the arrangement of three links and one level of water and electricity roads, the layout planning of various industries, the management charter of the board of directors and the board of supervisors, all of which are all available and written concisely, not to mention that Yang Shiqi has been engaged in foreign affairs for more than ten years, even people who do not understand the industry can understand.
Yang Shiqi remembered that Li Hongzhang once lamented that the talents of the Qing Dynasty were withering, but only the Kang Party had talents. A few days ago, Yang Shiqi and Yuan Shikai's eldest son, Yuan Keding, hosted a banquet for Wang Zhaoming. At that time, it was felt that this young man who dared to assassinate the regent was not only outstanding in appearance and courage, but also excellent in eloquence. Yang Shiqi secretly sighed that the revolutionary party also has talents!
And today, seeing this Chai Dudu, he has a different feeling. Liang Qi's super large pen is like a rafter article splendid, Wang Zhaoming's tongue is a lotus, but the prisoner can impress the chief judge, these two people are indeed talents, but they are partial to retreat and flashy! It is more than enough to destroy the old order, but it is not enough to use it for construction!
Chai Dongliang is the opposite, he has a strong ability to agitate, but he can calm down and work hard!
Yuan Shikai is also a pragmatic person, I don't know if he concentrates on developing industry, can he make old China rise as quickly as Germany and Ben?
Yang Shiqi didn't have an answer in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Chai Dongliang, and a strange thought popped up in his heart: If Yuan Shikai can't do it, then can this person do it?
